With my first pregnancy, my little one arrived three days after my original due date. They moved my due date up by almost two weeks, and so she would have been around two weeks late based on those calculations, although based on development at birth they just called her an even 41 weeks. Even though I felt my original dates were right and tried in pregnancy not to look at the “new” due date as a finish line, I must admit that I was getting pretty miserable as each day passed after those dates. As my mother’s pregnancies had all gone a little early, I really expected to have my little one more by the adjusted due date, and was pleased that baby’s development seemed to be in line with delivering a bit earlier than the “due date.” It sure made my family especially antsy, too, since my grandmother on my father’s side had been induced due to pre-eclampsia and my mother just ALWAYS delivered in the 37-39 week range. But afterward I’m sure glad that I waited to get the natural birth that I wanted.
